exclusive is South Carolina Senator Tim

Scott Senator great to see you this

morning thanks so much for being here

good morning Maria thank you who who

would you like to see in that leadership

role in the

Senate you know it's a great question I

I like to see someone leading the Senate

who is willing and able to work hand in

glove with President Trump we need a

majority in the Senate that understands

putting America First is working with

President trump our priorities should

start with closing the southern border

it should continue on having the next

wave of tax cuts that gives Americans

their money back and then we should make

sure that we have Law and Order in our

streets that's not the person John or

John it's the concept that President

Trump will lead our country to a

brighter future and we must have a new

majority leader who wants to work hand

and glove with Donald Trump you know

while President Trump was meeting with

the family of of uh lakan Riley who was

murdered by an illegal who crossed into

this country in September of 2022

according to the FBI um President Biden

was apologizing for calling uh that

person an illegal I don't understand

this can you explain

it no one can explain that talk about

disgusting Joe Biden is more worried

about using the word illegal or

undocumented the word he should use is

murder

here we have Donald Trump our president

sitting down with lake and Riley's

family and you have Joe Biden

apologizing for what word he used we

need a president who's serious about

saving American lives by closing the

southern border with a trump wall we

need a president who is serious about

saving American lives by reinstating the

remain in Mexico policy Maria we need

need a president who is serious enough

about saving 70,000 Americans who are

dying to fit andol by getting serious

and tough on our border we don't need a

a president who's going to backstep and

apologize for using the word illegal

versus undocumented when the word he

should just use is murderer that is

disrespectful to the Riley family and

I'm so thankful that President Trump sat

down with the family and made the

commitment that I would make as well

which is simply we will close our

Southern border and save the Sons and

Daughters of this nation by putting

America First how would you assess the

State of the Union

sir long and

wicked he went on forever uh I can't

think of a worse person to give a long

speech than Joe Biden Wicked in that I

heard a socialist Utopia emerging in his

words he's giving away money to student

loans he's giving a way money for for

for welfare programs he's giving a way

money for the climate all I heard was

give away giveaway giveaway and tax more

you that that is antithetical to who we

are as Americans what Americans want is

the ability to control their own future

that requires having their money back

that's why we were better off under

President Trump in

2017 he led the greatest tax cuts in the

history of our nation over

$2.3 trillion dollar going back to to

Americans and in their pockets so we had

the lowest unemployment we had low

inflation but we had high enthusiasm

High optimism success Maria breeds more

success and that's why African-Americans

Hispanics and Women Voters are coming

back to the GOP because we have a leader

we have a leader at the top of the

mountain that says we can all do better

do you believe the black community will

come out for Trump this

November I I have never seen the type of

enthusiasm for Republican presidential

candidate than I'm seeing right now for

president Donald Trump 40% of

African-American men are willing to vote

for president Trump why because they had

more money in their pockets we had more

Law and Order in the streets and we had

a greater future for our kids listen

president Trump is a president that says

every child in every zip code deserves a

quality education president Trump is a

president who says every neighborhood

deserves more police not defund of

police but let's refund respect and have

our officers where they're needed the

most we as a people the American people

love that but African-Americans are

devastated by migrant crime we're seeing

African-American kids staying home at

school from school in New York city so

they can put illegal immigrants in the

schools we're watching Colorado and

Denver specifically zero out paychecks

so illegal immigrants can have more

money that's devastating poor

communities president Trump stands with

a backbone and says not on my watch

Senator I was struck by AG Merck

Garland's comments recently he gave a

speech and he said that he is going to

vow vow to stop voter ID laws he said

it's discriminatory AP partly against

the black community I what's wrong with

having an ID to vote and why is this

attorney general so bent on enforcing no

ID when you go to the voting

booth well listen he he he he

disrespects the black community with his

race baiting here's what he's suggesting

that we are too dumb stupid or poor to

be able to get a photo ID to vote let me

ask you a question Maria have you ever

ever had to show a voter ID or or an ID

to get on a plane or to cash a check or

to check out of your grocery store of

course you can of course you have and of

course you should we want Joe Biden

fired so Merck Garland goes out with

them the next day we should all want

voter ID why because it makes sure that

we protect the American process of

voting here's what we know from the 2022

election in Georgia they changed the law

voter I still voter ID is still the law

of the land and they had the highest

turnout and Republicans still won all

across the state we know you can have

voter ID voter Integrity Senator it's

great Point uh obviously he's making

room for the illegals coming into this

country it's great to have this

conversation with you sir we will

continue to follow it thank you for

being

here look forward to seeing you again

Maria thank you all right Senator Tim

Scott and now this it was a pretty

pretty surprising that the special

counsel would State the obvious in

writing uh that Joe Biden's mental

capacity is diminished I think we see

that play out on a daily basis what I'm

concerned about uh is the fact that with

hidden within that document uh is

evidence that uh some of the classified

documents he mishandled were from

Ukraine and

China and that was house oversight

committee chairman Congressman James

comr with me here last month on special

councel Robert her's report

investigating President Biden's handling

of classified documents during his

tenure as vice president her declining

to bring criminal charges against Biden

in part due to what he said the jury

would see as quote a sympathetic

well-meaning elderly man with a poor

memory her is scheduled to testify this

week in front of the house Judiciary

Committee that's coming up this Tuesday

as House Republicans overseeing the

Biden impeachment inquiry had their

subpoena denied by the White House that

the doj hand over transcripts and audio

related to her's interview with

President Biden meanwhile special

counsel Jack Smith continues to

aggressively pursue criminal charges

against former president Trump's

handling of classified documents he

filed a number of arguments against

Trump's bid to dismiss the case joining

me right now in this Sunday morning

Futures exclusive is house oversight

Committee Member Florida Congressman

Byron Donalds Congressman it's great to

see you this morning thanks so much for

being

here good to be back with you Maria your

reaction to this approach different

approach toward the uh classified

documents

case look I think I Ed to be uh

completely discussing by the Department

of Justice house oversight and house and

house Judiciary are doing our jobs we

are requesting the information from the

from the special Counsel on his

investigation into into Joe Biden and

let's be clear this is not about Joe

Biden's activities during his presidency

it is the fact that he did take

classified information from a secure

facility when he was vice president and

when he was the United States Senator

both are a violation of the Espionage

Act and having a poor memory does not

absolve you from violating the Espionage

Act being old and elderly does not

absolve you from violating the Espionage

Act and so once again you see the

two-tier system of justice against

Donald Trump simply because he is the

Republican nominee and he is actually

the person that would blunt the radical

Democrat agenda so what do the Democrats

do weaponize the Department of Justice

go after their political RI rival it is

fascism here in the United States

brought To Us by Joe Biden and the

Democrats so what where does the

impeachment inquiry against President

Biden stand at this point you're a

member of the oversight committee and

you and James comr have talked about $30

million that you have identified going

to Biden 170 suspicious activity reports

the gift of a Porsche and two diamonds I

want to get your take on specifically

what evidence you have the most

egregious evidence that you may have

that points to Joe Biden being involved

in the influence pedaling that you and

your committee have laid

out well we have it with the fact that

we now know that Hunter Biden did bring

Joe Biden to this this this uh dinner at

Cafe Milano it has been uh talked about

in various deposition transcripts from

Tony balinsky to Devon Archer when we

asked Hunter Biden he couldn't recall

you have the text message famously about

requesting money from chairman Z the

money showed up a week later Hunter

Biden under oath said he was hi can't

remember the text message but photos

from the laptop from Hell demonstrate

that he actually was at Joe Biden's

house on the day that the text message

was sent so you have Hunter Biden

contradicting himself that's evidence

piece number one evidence piece number

two is the fact that you have money that

flows to Jim Biden on the same day

checks are cut to Joe Biden and then

they're calling it a loan but there are

no loan documents that exist that's

number two and then number three and

most importantly I think if you're

talking impeachment Joe Biden has

willfully violated immigration law in

the United States he has also violated

Supreme Court ruling when it comes to

student loans and he does it with

impunity so I believe it's partly the

oversight investigation but it's also

the willfulness of Joe Joe Biden to

ignore the Supreme Court and to not

Faithfully take care to execute the laws

of the United States when it comes to

border security in fact during the State

of the Union Address he tried to school

the Supreme Court attacking them for

their decision on Ro v Wade uh your

reaction and also give us your

assessment of Biden State of the Union

this

week well I found I found his scolding

of the Court disgusting because the left

will say that they want to respect the

institution except when they don't get

their way and then when they don't get

their way they want to call out Supreme

Court justices in front of the world

that was outrageous there was a reason

why not the entire the entire Supreme

Court was not there because I think they

understood they didn't want to be

subjected to Joe Biden's foolishness on

a whole the State of the Union speech

was disgusting I've never seen a speech

like this where the opposition party

from the president's party did not stand

for an hour in that speech it was

partisan it was a campaign speech he was

trying to prove himself to his political

base because they have serious questions

about his ability and frankly they

should have serious questions about his

ability but it was not about the United

States of America it was not addressing

the true State of the Union which is

unraveling a bunch of the policies of

policies of Joe Biden because they've

been disastrous for America well this is

what I really want to get to I mean the

state of the union is an opportunity for

America to understand where the country

stands on so many issues whether it's

economic or or or foreign policy or

Beyond I walked away from that State of

the Union not really having a clear

understanding of what is the state of

the union so I ask you what is the state

of the union

today right now under Joe Biden we are a

nation in Decline and it's truly sad

because America has so much promise you

can make the clear argument Maria that

the only reason why our economy is still

a flat is really because of the

Ingenuity the hard work the ethic the

grit of the American worker the American

businessman the American Finance Year

all of them working interdependently to

Just Produce goods and services and

enjoy America it's the greatest nation

in the world but with this leadership

from Joe Biden where we have fallen

behind on the world stage we are falling

behind when it comes to energy we are

falling behind when it comes to to

regulations and the government gets

bigger as a result um it's not been good

for the United States we can

significantly do better this is why I

believe Donald Trump's going to be the

47th president of the United States well

on on during the State of the Union

Biden said and this is a quote I've

already cut the deficit by over $1

trillion that's just not true according

to the committee for a responsible

federal budget Maya mcginness writes

this more than the entirety of the fall

in the de deficit can be explained by Co

relief and acted under both Trump and

Biden expiring so the covid money has

expired and that is why the deficit went

down uh covid related spending fell by

nearly 1 and a half trillion between

fiscal year 21 and 22 according to the

uh uh committee for a responsible

federal budget we're still waiting to

see if you all are going to get your

work done the Appropriations bills and

and avoid a government shutdown within

the next two weeks

right oh that is correct two quick

things number one your report is

absolutely correct and then Joe Biden

did the dumbest thing ever he Juiced

federal spending with his American

so-called rescue rescue plan which

created the disastrous inflation that

has been crippling American consumers

but when it comes to the federal budget

I do believe we're going to get this

work done finally and it's important for

the American people to understand that

House Republicans were prepared to get

all this done last September but the

reason why this can never get resolved

is because Chuck Schumer and Senate

Democrats wanted to delay delay delay

delay and delay some more mostly for

politics but also just to get as much

money into the government as possible to

spend on Reckless policy it is

unfortunate but this is what happens

when you have bad leadership in the

Democrat Party America can do better and

I I'll even say for Democrat voters they

can do better as well because the people

leading their party are leading their

their party into Oblivion it's a shame

seeing what's happened to the Democrat

Party in America Congressman it's great

to have you this morning thanks very

much we'll be watching your work of

course thank you

sir thank you all right Congressman

Byron Donalds this morning extensively

from Chinese uh prop aganda Ministry

officials and military officials they

call Tick Tock the Trojan Horse that

they're using against the west and they

lay out in excruciating detail how they

use it as a propaganda tool to undermine

the faith of American young people in

their own

country and that was Peter schwitzer

author of the bestseller blood money on

the threat Tik Tock poses to US National

Security this week the house is expected

to vote on a bill that would force

Chinese company bite dance to sell Tik

Tock over concerns that the Chinese

Communist party is influ the site's

algorithm and accessing personal uh data

of the apps users joining me right now

with more on the China thread is Fox

News senior strategic analyst he is

retired forar General Jack Keen General

always a pleasure to see you your

reaction to this upcoming vote and the

threat that is Tik

Tock well we're clearly moving in the

right direction I mean our entire

intelligence Community led by the FBI

who's responsible for Counter

Intelligence are all in agreement here

that Tik Tock is absolutely a threat to

our our national security so this bill

is moving in the right direction and and

for our audience to understand it's not

suggesting to ban Tik Tock the bill

really is is have to change the

ownership of Tik Tock uh get rid of bite

dance and get another company in there

who owns it that is not plugged into the

Chinese Communist party that really is

the issue and and hopefully this this

gets passed it is a threat to our

national security and certainly most

significantly would be if we had a

conflict with China in terms of what

they know about the American people

would be a huge advantage to them at

that time and how to manipulate them

yeah it's it's an important point to

make I also want to get your take on the

threat of Iran as well as uh what's

happening uh on Israel uh and and Hamas

you say that there was news broken from

the testimony of the chairman of sencom

talk to us about what's happening and

the approach to Iran right now from the

United

States yeah well a couple things first

of all we have to congratulate sencom

and our military capability out there in

literally shutting down the Iranian

backed militias that have been attacking

our bases in Iraq and Syria after the

February 2nd and February 7th attack 85

targets hit and obviously the leader of

the Iraq Iraqi back militia um that shut

them down they've been shut down for

over a month so good news there but he

also pointed out in dealing with the

houthis because we've been out of uh

Yemen for years we're still in Iraq and

Syria and we don't have the visibility

in Yemen uh that we used to have he has

testified that to really stopped the

houthis from taking them from just

degrade them to stop them we have to

impose cost on Iran and that is

something we've all been talking about

uh here with you Maria and and others

Iran is a center of gravity here and you

have to put their assets at risk no one

here to include the sencom commander is

talking about conducting an attack that

would suggest were going to war with

Iran and going after infrastructure in

tyan like we did in Baghdad in 2003

these are limited attacks to get Iran's

attention to make sure they understand

that their assets going to be held at

risk and that is a step that still needs

to be taken and hopefully the

administration will release the assets

that the sencom commander has to do just

that yeah I've got to tell you it

doesn't feel like we've got any AGG

aggressive you know you know response to

all of these attacks on our troops in

the Middle East and even as we're sort

of stalling on an aggressive response

there and stalling on an aggressive

response to the aggression coming out of

communist China President Biden is

warning BB

Netanyahu that he needs to put a

ceasefire in place like immediately uh

Biden warned the prime minister of

Israel that an assault on Rafa would

cross the red line the president has

been talking about this expected

ceasefire for a number of days now and

yet there's been no conversation of any

expectation that Hamas is going to

release the

hostages yeah I mean for the life of me

I don't know what is going on here the

the proposal on the table that Israel

has is a ceasefire for you know for 6

weeks and uh obviously a release of of

hostages and significant humanitarian

Aid that's on a table who is saying no

to that Hamas right they want a

permanent ceasefire they want withdrawal

of Israeli troops from Gaza I mean not

those are unrealistic negotiating points

so it looks like Hamas appears to be

digging their heels in here because they

they believe they have the wind at their

back with the International Community

condemning Israel for its behavior and

now this just reinforces their position

because we have the president of the

United States no less reinforcing that

behavior as well listen what has to

happen here and Le let's put it on the

table Israel has to destroy the

remaining effective Hamas fighting

Battalion somewhere in the neighborhood

of five to six of them four of them in

in Rafa if they don't do that and if

they don't take down the principal Hamas

leaders who are still alive in those

tunnel systems what's going to by States

and jurisdictions to implement

discriminatory burdensome and

unnecessary restrictions on access to

the ballot including those related to

mailin voting the use of dropboxes and

voter ID

requirements voter ID requirements that

was attorney general mer Arland vowing

last weekend that the Department of

Justice will confront any state that

implements tougher election security

measures including rules to show your ID

in Houston on Friday the Republican

National Committee elected Michael

wattley and to replace Ron McDaniel as

chairman and Lara Trump as co-chair both

receiv received the endorsement of

former president Trump who told me

exclusively in an interview last month

at Maraga that changes were coming to

the RNC leadership and certainly they

have joining me right now is the woman

herself the co-chair the new co-chair of

the RNC Lara Trump who begins day one on

Monday tomorrow Lara great to see you

congratulations thank you so much Maria

I really appreciate it what is your

priority leading the RNC right

now well you just heard from the top law

enforcement officer in the country merri

garland that he doesn't want voter ID

anywhere that he wants to basically give

access as I just heard from him to

anyone whether they are legally able to

vote or not that is a huge problem we

have three pillars that we need to focus

on at the RNC to ensure Victory on

November 5th turn out the vote protect

the vote and raise money but I would

argue that maybe the most important of

those three is protecting the vote

election Integrity we have to ensure

that when people go vote they feel like

their vote counts that they are inspired

to go vote we can never allow what

happened in 2020 and the questions

surrounding that election to ever happen

again so I'll tell you right now what is

already underway at the RNC we have for

the first time ever an election

Integrity division this means vast

resources dedicated solely to this cause

we are going to have and we've already

started working on and I'll tell you

Monday we're going to expand all of it a

Nationwide network of volunteers whether

it's pole Watchers trained poll workers

these are people who can physically go

in count ballots that are coming in know

how many are coming in how many are

going out volunteer and paid attorneys

if you are a volun an attorney who wants

to volunteer we want you Donald J

trump.com gop.com please come volunteer

and we currently have 78 lawsuits out

right now in 23 States across this

country to make it easier to vote and

harder to cheat and here's what I want
